Question 3 • Physical Science

Evelynn is measuring the pitch of a piano note. What unit of measurement is she most likely recording her value in?

Answer
A
hertz
B
amplitude
C
decibels
D
frequency

Explanation

Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave, and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). Decibels measure loudness, while amplitude describes the size of the wave, so hertz is the appropriate unit for Evelynn’s value.
